In terms of high profile Switch eShop downloads, Has-Been Heroes by Frozenbyte is one of the most notable arrivals in the next couple of weeks. Arriving in North America on 28th March, it's now dropped back a week - to 4th April - in Europe.

It's not exactly a drastic delay, though the development team has released a quirky video as an announcement. Whatever the real logistical issues are, a seven day delay isn't exactly the end of the world.

It appears to be game stop exclusive from what I can see.I did email the devs yesterday still waiting on a reply.I ordered from game stop Ireland cost just over €30 all in with dpd 48 hour delivery to the uk.Didn't work out conversion at the time I just wanted physical game in my collection.

@faint I did read the review. Aside from any struggles he had with the format it sounded like he found the game boring and repetitive with a lack of variety in the opposing forces. Doesn't sound like an instant buy for £20 to me.

That said, Gamespace gave it 8/10 and iDigitalTimes gave it 4/5, so, like my original comment said, I'll wait to take in a larger pool of opinions and try and find a way to try it first.

Ignoring early negative reviews, I don't really know what the big deal about this game is. Nintendo has been kinda pushing it, even having a large section about it a couple months ago at their presentation. I saw that trailer when it came out and wasn't really impressed, it looked really shallow and more of a mobile title than a full fledged game.

Seems like Europe will never get their games at the same time as everyone else. There's no excuse for it anymore : technically it's as easy to put out a digital game on the same day. I guess it must be a deliberate choice...

First Binding of Issac and now this. I would genuinely like to know the reason for this, there must be one as I doubt it's a co-incidence that two big indie titles have seen small delays. add to that the price hike in Europe and something seems a little off about the whole thing.

the countdown to Snake Pass' delay has started. calling it now, a week delay for Europe with Snake Pass.

There's some bad press against this game, reviews and previews. That coupled with a high price tag and just look at its visuals. This is the same developer that created beautiful graphics on Wii U with the Trine games.

Trine 2: Director's Cut on Wii U.

Has-Been Heroes on Switch.

There's no comparison. I remember Trine 3: The Artifacts Of Power skipped Wii U. I might have suggested Nintendo try to get that on the Switch but that didn't review great either. Maybe they're just not as talented as they once were.

Eh, I suppose it gives time for reviews to appear first, which looking at the comments here, is going to work against them.I would have nothing against buying a more expensive good if it is good, but the way it currently looks, if I want a RPG fix on my Switch, I might as well spend a tenner more for that 'I Am' game.Mind you, since starting Zelda, I haven't played anything else, on Switch at least. So I'll probably be able to hold out for even better RPG experiences.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE So, we finally know now what one of, if not THE deciding factor for you, as to whether you buy a game .... GRAPHICS.

Hey, everyone is different, that is fine. For ME personally, graphics come about 4th or 5th in what I look for in a game.

What type of game it is. What I am able to do in the game. How the game makes me feel. The story telling. What new (if any), features the game introduces/improves upon. Graphical quality, relative to the style of game. Longevity, and replay value.

As I stated, we are all different, and that is what makes us ALL great. Also as stated, this is MY opinion(s), which are no LESS valid than your own, and certainly no MORE valid.

@therealgamer wow his review sounds really jaded, I mean maybe that is how bad it is, but his writing makes him just sound angry... I will wait for some more reviews that don't seem as biased as that one.

I at least didnt get that Eire disliked the game for the graphics. He/she just stated that the game doesnt seem to live up to the creators former works.The graphics or id say artdesign was just a point to show it.

And yeah i also think that trine looks much better in that department. Whilst no heroes looks a little bit like a handygame.

But well in the end one has to play it to really see wether its an improvement in the other departmens.

Although I got Treasure Trove, just Zelda and Issac have been enough to take up my time. I am gping to try really hard to not buy new games when I don't need them as I still have original wii and PS3 games I have never played yet besides Wii U, PS4 and 3DS.

This drought is the best thing for me but it will be coming to an end soon.

Long story short I would have bought this game regardless of the very good chance it might be crap in the past.
